Managed firewall, intrusion prevention/ detection system

---

PRIMARY FUNCTION:

• A firewall controls and filters network traffic based on predefined security rules.
• It allows or blocks traffic based on factors like IP addresses, ports, and protocols.
• Unlike IDS/IPS, a firewall's main goal is preventing unauthorized access rather than detecting threats inside the network.

PLACEMENT IN NETWORK:

• Firewalls sit at the network perimeter (or between internal network segments) to enforce security policies.
• IDS/IPS, on the other hand, monitors and analyzes traffic within the network.

ACTION TAKEN:

• Firewalls: Prevent unauthorized traffic but do not analyze deep packet contents for attack patterns.
• IDS: Detects suspicious activity but does not block it.
• IPS: Detects and automatically blocks threats.
